Converge yesterday said it has received certification from New York-based data center authority Uptime Institute for its three-megawatt, 300-rack Caloocan Data Center.

This makes the Caloocan Data Center the first and only data center in the Philippines to receive a Tier 3 certification.

In February, Converge scored a Tier 3 certification for Caloocan Data Center's design, affirming that the blueprint meets the redundancy demands of a facility of such rate. Since then, Converge has completed the construction of the facility, and the company is now testing its capabilities.
